Tingwei was already overcrowded. Fortunately, Wang Tianqi temporarily requisitioned several school grounds and was able to imprison everyone. Because there was a serious shortage of officials, the Northern Army had even begun to be mobilized to assist in guarding. Wang Tianqi had never been so tired in his life. He already had
It's been a long time since I've been home. People are being sent in all the time. Some commit suicide in prison. Some want to make meritorious deeds, and some want to escape from prison.
Some people want to threaten him, some want to bribe him, and of course, some want to kill him.
Wang Tianqi originally thought that Zhang Buyi would be a good assistant for him, but this guy only cared about arresting people and didn't care about anything else. He arrested more and more people and gained more and more credit, but the difference in detention and interrogation was all
The pressure was on Wang Tianqi, and none of the officials in the court came to help him.
When Wang Tianqi finished interrogating another person and was leaning tiredly against the wall and sitting on the ground to rest, an official suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, get up, get up!"
This is not the first time. Wang Tianqi raised his head angrily, "Which bastard is it again? It's gone! It's gone!"
The official's expression changed greatly, "It's the king..."
Wang Tianqi suddenly jumped up and hurriedly straightened his clothes, but Liu Chang appeared in front of him at an unknown moment. He stretched out his hand with a smile and helped Wang Tianqi fix his crown. Wang Tianqi did not dare to move and let the king do it.
Helping himself to tidy up his clothes, "Your Majesty...I didn't know you were coming..."
"It's okay...have you suffered these days?"
"I dare not, I will die for the king!"
Wang Tianqi said seriously, but his pale and bloodless face gave him away. Wang Tianqi was really tired. The detention, interrogation, interrogation, arrest and other tasks of thousands of people were all placed on one person.
The imperial officers of the Han Dynasty have never been so busy since the founding of the country.
Liu Chang put his arms around Wang Tianqi and pulled him to sit down directly. He didn't care about the dirt on the ground and leaned against the wall. To be fair, although Wang Tianqi was not in the list of founding heroes, he was still a prince. He had fought in wars and was tall and strong.
He was quite majestic, but next to Liu Chang, he suddenly became very petite, even a little bit like a little bird clinging to someone.
"It's also difficult for you... Let's give you a three-day holiday. Go back and have a good rest!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, state affairs are so important, how dare you rest?"
"Three days of rest will not delay much state affairs."
"But these things in the prison..."
"It doesn't matter what they do, they can't run away. Let's do this. I'll arrange for two people to do things for you temporarily. You can go and rest first."
Looking at the unruly king next to him, Wang Tianqi felt a little moved for some reason.
"Ha, if you continue to be here, you will be killed sooner or later. Wouldn't that mean that I will bear a bad reputation? This will harm my reputation. Go back and rest!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty, you can ask my replacement to come over first. I can only leave after I explain everything."
Liu Chang looked at Wang Tianqi again, "Are all of you who are Tingwei like donkeys?"
"Your Majesty, how come this zodiac sign is like a donkey?"
"Okay, okay...I'll call you over here!"
"Call Lu Lu, Chen Mai, and Zhang Shizhi over here!"
The two of them waited, and Wang Tianqi asked curiously: "Does the king want the three of them to do it? They are all still young..."
"It's okay, they can do it well, don't worry."
"These are all Ruyi people. It is most appropriate for them to deal with these thieves!"
Wang Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what the king meant, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Soon, these three Ruyi people appeared in front of Liu Chang.
They looked at Liu Chang and Wang Tianqi leaning against the wall, sitting so unceremoniously, with expressions of astonishment. Zhang Shizhi even said directly: "Your Majesty, this action is not in line with the majesty of the king!"
Liu Chang looked at Wang Tianqi proudly, "How is it? You're right? This guy alone is enough for them to drink a pot!"
"Your Majesty is right."
Wang Tianqi hurriedly agreed.
Liu Chang then stood up slowly, looked at the three confused people in front of him, and said: "Zhang Shizhi, you are responsible for examining the prisoners. I don't ask you how quickly you can finish the interrogation, but it must be detailed and truthful.
Let them tell the truth."
"If something goes wrong during the interrogation, go back to Xiuyi and never think about having such an opportunity again!"
"only!"
"Chen Mai, you are responsible for recording the situation, and you are also responsible for the liaison between Tingwei and the outside world. If there is a problem with the external liaison, you will never be able to inherit the title!"
"only!"
"Lu Lu... you are responsible for guarding the prisoners, escorting the prisoners, taking care of the prisoners, dealing with officials, keeping documents, cleaning the inside and outside of the prison, preventing them from committing suicide, preventing them from being killed, prohibiting them from contacting the outside world, making arrangements for officials, and military personnel
Deployment, rotation..."
"Many of these, if something goes wrong, they will be beheaded."
"ah???"
Lu Lu was stunned.
Not to mention this extremely unreasonable work distribution, this outcome seems a bit unfair. Of the two of them, one made a mistake and wanted his embroidered clothes back, and the other made a mistake and wanted to revoke his inheritance rights. How come I am beheaded?
Seeing Lu Lu's confused expression, Liu Chang smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Lu, when you followed me to the south, you made great contributions. You often wrote letters to inform my mother about my affairs so that she wouldn't worry. You have such great contributions, how can I forget you? This time
Let you take on the big responsibilities and do these things well!"
Lu Lu understood immediately, and he asked hesitantly: "What if I made a mistake?"
"You don't have to worry about beheading him. He can inherit his uncle's title, so you can go ahead and do it without any worries!"
Wang Tianqi began to discuss the work content with the three of them. Zhang Shizhi and Chen Mai immediately took orders to go out to do things. Only Lu Lu listened blankly to Wang Tianqi talking about many things. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched his neck.
This great head is about to be lost here?
Wang Tianqi bowed three times and prepared to go back to rest.
However, Liu Chang specially arranged some soldiers for him, "Oh, I only give you three days of rest. I will send a few soldiers to follow you to prevent you from over-resting and forgetting to come to Tingwei after three days."
!”
Wang Tianqi understood Liu Chang's intentions very well. This rebellion involved too many things, and he was worried that he would be assassinated.
After Wang Tianqi left, Liu Chang took Zhang Shizhi into the prison and met alone with the leaders of the rebellion.
The leaders of this rebellion, only Zhang Yue and Ding Tong survived. During the resistance, Gao Cheng was torn alive by the soldiers who were seeking military honors, and their parts were exchanged for military honors.
, Luan Yue was directly beheaded by Zhang Buyi, and Hong Ru was beheaded by Chai Wu.
Liu Chang met Zhang Yue first. Although he was already a prisoner, Zhang Yue was very arrogant when facing Liu Chang.
"Why do you want to rebel?"
"Am I rebelling? You are the one who rebelled! You deceived your brother and rebelled, and your crime is unpardonable! You, a thief, will be despised by future generations!!"
"You are a treacherous thief! You are an unfilial thief! You are an unfaithful dog!"
"You are so shameless, the lord of Jie and Zhou! Everyone in the world is eager to eat your flesh!"
Zhang Yue cursed loudly, and Zhang Shizhi was worried that Liu Chang would kill the prisoner, so he hurriedly blocked his mouth.
"Your Majesty, this guy just wants to die, so you can't be fooled."
Zhang Shizhi said hurriedly, there are still many things that have not been sorted out, and this person cannot die yet.
Liu Chang also understood this truth. Although he was angry, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and panted like a bull. "Pull him down and interrogate him! Send Ding Tong in for me!"
Zhang Shizhi nodded and asked the soldiers to pull Zhang Yue out of the door.
At this moment, Liu Chang suddenly stood up and walked to Zhang Yue's side in a few steps. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he punched Zhang Yue in the face. Zhang Yue leaned back and fainted.
, Liu Chang rubbed his fists, "I feel much better now, pull it off!"
Zhang Shizhi stopped talking and left helplessly.
Compared with Zhang Yue's toughness, Ding Tong is a bit unsatisfactory.
The moment he saw Liu Chang, he kept begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I have been deceived by a villain. I have been deceived! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Although Ding Tong and Zhang Yue are both marquises, they are different from each other. Zhang Yue was a serious founding general, ranking fifty-sixth in the list of founding heroes. As for Ding Tong, he was a second-generation marquis.
My father is Ding Yi, who was ranked 43rd in the founding of the country. He just inherited Ding Yi's title. He has no ability, commits many evil acts, and waits for death.
Although Ding Tong is a second-generation prince, he has been bold and fearless since he was a child. Especially after his father passed away, he became even more arrogant and arrogant.
It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes the soldiers who rushed over to tear their companions apart and compete for military glory with gleaming eyes that he completely gave up. He didn't want to end up like that. During the subsequent cross-examination, he also
He told everything he knew and kept talking. Many people were arrested thanks to this Ding Hou.
"Your Majesty...I will tell you whatever you ask!"
"Who started the rebellion?"
"It was Zhang Yue who summoned us. After we agreed, he allowed us to meet each other..."
"Where did your crossbow come from?"
"Part of it is my father's private collection, and the rest was bought by me... I have already informed Ting Wei of the person who sold me the crossbow..."
Liu Chang asked a few more questions, and the man also answered them all. In order to survive, this guy even sold his friends' usual bragging rights. Liu Chang felt disdainful in his heart. Although they were all traitors, compared to
Looking at the biting dog in front of him, Liu Chang still felt that the tough-mouthed dog just now was better, but no matter how good it was, it was just a dog.
The reason why he raised an army for His Majesty was just an excuse. The main reason for his rebellion was because he was hiding criminals and was investigated by Xiu Yi. He couldn't sit still, so he colluded with the others.
You dare to say that you are treason? Do you think Nai Gong cares about the emperor's position?
This guy supports businessmen, bribes officials, even dares to take in criminals who have killed officials, runs a big business privately, uses his own identity to make money crazily, such a piece of shit, how can he dare to say that he is loyal to the emperor?
The more Liu Chang thought about it, the angrier he became. After interrogating Ding Tong, Liu Chang rushed into Zhang Yue's cell, punched Zhang Yue who was yelling at Zhang Shizhi, and knocked him out again. Only then was he satisfied.
He left Tingwei Prison.
In the days that followed, Chang Liu saw no one.
Although many meritorious ministers came to see him every day, most of them came to plead for mercy, but Liu Chang didn't see anyone. On weekdays, he just ate meat, drank wine, and beat Zhang Yue.
This is the first time that Liu Chang, who has a vengeful character, has been scolded like this. Na Maodun doesn't even dare to scold himself like this!
This made Liu Chang unable to suppress his anger. Therefore, whenever he thought of Zhang Yue scolding him, he would go to Tingwei to give Zhang Yue Lai a trick.
Sometimes, while Zhang Yue was eating, he saw Liu Chang come in and punch him in the stomach.
Sometimes, Zhang Yue was sleeping and it was already dark night. Liu Chang suddenly appeared and punched him again.
Liu Chang came here irregularly. Sometimes he would come three or four times frequently, either early or late. Anyway, Zhang Yue was tortured quite a lot.
In Zhang Yue's opinion, this is simply a lunatic. He just scolded him. Is this necessary? He would punch him from time to time. Even in the middle of the night, he would go to Tingwei to beat someone?
Zhang Yue was tense all day long. When Zhang Shizhi was interrogating him, the slightest movement would force him to scream and look at the door in horror.
"Mr. Zhang, I am begging you. For the sake of following Emperor Gao, please give me a happy one!"
"I can't stand it anymore!"
"Give me a simple one, don't let me suffer such an insult."
Zhang Yue finally lost his original arrogance and began to beg Zhang Shizhi in a low voice.
Zhang Shizhi looked at him. He was pitiful. Zhang Shizhi could understand him very well. The king's behavior...how should I put it? He was elusive and would come and punch him from time to time, regardless of time.
...This is too torturous.
"Zhang Jun, if you can tell me where you got the crossbow armor from and how you deployed so many followers in various places, I will give you a respect."
Zhang Yue gritted his teeth again and said nothing.
"I can die, but I can never betray..."
As he was talking, the door opened, and Liu Chang ran over with a ferocious smile. Zhang Yue shouted in horror: "No! No! No!"
"Bang~~"
Liu Chang punched Zhang Yue in the abdomen. The man immediately bent over in pain and foamed at the mouth. The soldiers immediately picked him up and sent him to a doctor for treatment.
Liu Chang walked out of the prison triumphantly. Zhang Shizhi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is not very appropriate."
"Decent? How many people died in Chang'an because of this guy? Do you think they were decent? Did this guy confess?"
"No, he tried to commit suicide several times...without success..."
Suicide methods in this era included swords, fire, head, etc., but there was no such thing as biting the tongue. Perhaps it was because people in this era valued integrity and ritual and were unwilling to end their lives in this way.
"It seems that I have to come back a few more times to pry open this guy's mouth. I want to see who really wants me to die!"
Liu Chang then patted Zhang Shizhi on the shoulder, "You did a great job!"
"I have read your interrogation record, hahaha, you have found out so many things in just a few days, great, you were born to eat this!"
"Your Majesty is right, he is truly a genius!"
Wang Tianqi walked over in high spirits and said with a smile: "I didn't even realize that there is a talented court officer hiding beside the king."
Interrogating Guan Yu has never been an easy task. At first, Lao Wang was worried that these people would mess up the matter, but later he discovered that except for Lu Lu, the other two people all had extraordinary talents, especially
It was this Zhang Shizhi who was really amazing. His efficiency was even higher than that of Wang Tianqi, the old Tingwei. In a short period of time, he divided the rebellion into several large ones, investigated them separately, discussed them together, and worked them out.
It has to be well organized.
Wang Tianqi was still here flattering him, but Liu Chang glanced at him.
"You have always been able to conjure armor out of thin air. Could these armor and crossbows come from Tingwei?"
Hearing this, Lao Wang's legs became weak and he hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I use the same set of armor. It is kept in another courtyard. You can go and see it at any time. I use the same armor every time.
That kind of thing! I would never dare to hide it secretly!!"
"Hahaha, you finally admitted it!"
Liu Chang laughed loudly, "Since you are good at finding armor, you should search hard and find out where these armors come from as soon as possible!"
"only!!!"
Liu Chang came out of Tingwei and drove to the Taiwei Mansion.
During these days, the ministers were extremely busy, but it seemed that nothing had happened to the captain. As always, he was eating and drinking without being affected at all. When Liu Chang came, Han Xin just glanced at
She glanced at him, waved her hand, and asked him to sit over.
In the whole world, the only ones who dare to treat Liu Chang like this are Empress Lu and Han Xin.
Even the King of Chu would not dare to treat Liu Chang like this.
But Liu Chang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He sat down next to Han Xin and smiled flatteringly, "Master? What are your orders?"
"The battle between Bashu and Bashu is almost over. The next step is Hexi. Jizhu invaded Hexi several times and even reached Longxi at one time. People like Zhou Bo didn't have the Great Wall, but they couldn't even stop tens of thousands of Huns cavalry.
,snort!"
Han Xin's face was full of disappointment and disdain for Zhou Bo.
Han Xin looked down on these people very much. Zhou Bo, who was ranked fourth in the founding of the country, was nothing to Han Xin. He once publicly said that he was ashamed to associate with Zhou Bo, Guan Ying and others. Liu Chang scratched his head, but did not dare to agree, saying
Really, Zhou Bo had less than 10,000 people, so asking him to divide his troops to block the Xiongnu's tens of thousands of cavalry was a bit excessive...The Xiongnu were not like the Donghu.
Han Xin said seriously: "These Huns are running too fast. They are plotting rebellion. I suspect that they contacted the Huns... We must break the legs of the Huns to prevent them from crossing Hexi."
Liu Chang asked in confusion: "Then how to break their legs?"
"I plan to go to Longxi in person to summon the Tang army so that Jizhu will not dare to run to Chang'an in Longxi..."
"Okay, let's go together! I must break their legs myself!"
"Just don't go. The country has just experienced a rebellion. You can't leave."
"Hey, this rebellion is nothing. Master, their level of rebellion is only a little higher than yours. There is no need to worry at all!"
"You're such a bastard!!!"
Han Xin stood up and was about to fight, but Liu Chang ran away quickly.
"I'm not going, I'm not going, then Master, just get ready! I have to go to Tingwei!"
